Hostal Marlasca - Madrid

8.6

We stayed 8 nights but our room was bare and lacked seating for 2. Upon looking at other rooms I was disapointed with ours because the other rooms were decorated and had seating for 2. We had an outside room so the street noise woke us up quite often. We were happy with the location. It is located in the heart of Madrid just a short walk from Plaza del Sol and attractions are easily accessable with a short stroll or quick Metro ride. We used the train and Metro quite often because it was conviently located at Sol. An internet cafe and laundry were just a 2 minute walk away and for the crafter, it is close to awesome fabric and linen shops. Check out Borca. We love Madrid. We recommend this hotel but don't take room 451...or any outside room if you are easily disturbed. Madrid never sleeps.

8.4

The hostels on that area are quite old, but this one is actually really nice. The room forniture appropriate. At the reception they were really friendly. And they do have free wireless acces in the common areas. We had no problems and enjoyed our visit.

8.9

Perfetto! centralissimo e prezzo onesto. Le camere con finestra sulla corte interna, come la nostra sono molto silenziose e con scuri elettrici. L'arredamento era moderno anche se minimo. Difetti se necessari: cambio biancheria ed asciugamani ogni 3 gg, non frigo-bar. Rapporto qualità/ prezzo: ottimo

8.9

It's really charming place. I worried about the safety problem. But it's OK. Near hotel, there are several nice bars and restaurants. But it's very quiet. Moreover location and price are excellent.I enjoyed it very much.

8.3

Sistemazione semplice, ma in posizione veramente ottima. Zona movimentata alla sera, ma sicura. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Ci tornerei volentieri!

8.2

El servicio acorde al precio con buena atencion.

8.4

OTTIMA POSIZIONE A DUE PASSI DA PUERTA DEL SOL. OTTIMO RAPPORTO QUALITA` PREZZO. HOTEL NEL CUORE DELLA MOVIDA. ANDATECI!

This hostal was perfect! Center-located, very clean, the room was spacious and price really convenient. The only problem was that we had very noisy neighbours and one night I couldn't sleep at all, walls are veeeery thin! But the following night we asked them to stop the noise and it was better. I had problems with the wi-fi connection from my mobile device but everything else was perfect. The shower was so relaxing! I absolutely recommend this hostal to everyone coming to Madrid!

9.1

My stay was very good. The rooms at the hotel are clean and offers safe and wifi connection. The location is good, near Puerta del Sol. Me and my wife enjoyed it very much.

Il mio pernottamente presso l'Hostal Marlasca è stato, in fin dei conti, soddisfacente. Forse soprattutto perchè in camera ci sono stato pochissimo. Nulla da eccepire sulla pulizia della camera: nemmeno un granello di polvere. Ma la mobilia era abbastanza decadente (letto inclinato, tipo Torre di Pisa)ed il bagno estremamente piccolo, anche per una persona di media statura. Le camere al primo piano sono in pratica accanto alla reception, quindi si sentono in continuazione citofoni, turisti che chiedono informazioni o telefoni che squillano. Un punto forte, almeno dal mio punto di vista, è la presenza del wi-fi a disposizione dei clienti con un proprio pc portatile.

7.3

We were in Madrid for holidays. Madrid is a wonderful city and the Hostal Marlasca is in the best position to visit it.

8.9

Excelent choice! great location! clean rooms!

4.1

We stayed here twice, first time were given a smallish quiet room at the back (photo of room on their card)Is is very central, in the heart of the tapas area. On the second stay on the way home we had a normal sized room divided in half with a very thin wall and could hear everything going on next door. We faced the street and it was horribly noisy all night, every night. The window wouldn't close properly, nor the shutters and the shower didn't work properly. Left the hotel tired and ratty and the end of a lovely holiday.

7.4

The room was spacious enough and toilet/shower facilities very good. The hotel is very quiet, and excellently situated near to all important places in central Madrid. A good choice.

7.8

Good location, warm staff by Spanish standards. For an economy lodging I would stay here again. Downside was being directed to use the 1-900 'easy calling' number provided by the payphone as it was posted here and at other Spanish hotels. A 12 minute call to Canada cost $90., ..more than one night's accomodation her. I suspect there is a kick-back to the hotel owner. Venere might consider posting an alert to customers regarding this practice.

7.3

I Keep the address for the next trip to Madrid. Just one regret, no breakfast abvaillable but many possibilities around.

8.4

The hotel is in the second floor, and i don't expected that. All other things was great. My room was in the back and so very quiet.

8.4

Room clean but a little old. Very well situated for visiting Madrid.

8.8

A single female traveling alone. I thought the hotel was comfortable and a great value. I would definitely stay there again.

7.2

Camere un po' piccole ma sufficientemente pulite. Il punto di forza dell'hostal è la posizione: centralissima nella movida madrilena!

7.2

Location was excellent, accomodations and bathrooms were clean, overall great value for the price. Walls are thin though so noise can be an issue depending on neighboring travellers.

7.1

Really important to ask for room in back, away from street. The place is rockin until all hours and the rush hour traffic starts up the noise again early. We slept fine in the front, however, with earplugs. Andres at the front desk, in particular, was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and he spoke English. Side street Calle Victoria had a wonderful selection of old-time tascas, two or three handy locutorios were nearby on Cruz and San Jeronimo (the best one, first (i.e. second) floor, .08 E/minute to the states, .50 E/15 minutes internet, on Jeronimo btwn Victoria and Pl. Canalejas, which is at end of C. Cruz).

6.8

Good budget accomodation in the centre of Madrid and close to all attractions

9.6

Lovely, friendly hotel. Room was excellent; even with four adults in single beds it did nt feel cramped. Full of character especially the internal stairs - not sure I'd want to do that with young children though. And location ... spot on for everything, we could walk everywhere and really take in the city. Fantastic

5.0

Budget and middle price range of hotel - Breakfast arrangements were not there. Lift is not spacious at all. Rooms were just about OK and not too bad.

9.3

Near great shopping, a lot of bars and restaurant and practicaly one of the best locations in town. If I ever come to Madrid again, this area and hotel would be my prefered choice for budget accomondation. A lot of plus , only one minus that it can be noisy from the bars nearby on the weekend, but even that was a small minus for me and my girlfriend who wasn't out partying.

8.4

vriendelijk en behulpzaampersoneel, echter niet echt van praktische zaken op de hoogte (daar is een toeristische dienst voor denk ik); veiligheid primeert, kleine propere nette kamers (opgelet de handdoeken worden maar om de 2 dagen vervangen).drank en snoepautomaten in de hall.

8.9

Muy buena estadia, es la segunda ves que voy y volveria al mismo lugar, El precio muy en cuenta y la ubicacion excelente. Muy buen trato personal Hugo Montero

7.9

extremely beautiful place, nice and cozy..stay recommended as in the centre of the city

8.7

Carino, pulito, ottima zona. Io avevo la stanza al quarto piano e non sentivo chiasso dalla strada, che era comunque limitato. Unica nota storta (se non altro per "questione di principio") la cassaforte a pagamento! Costava 1 euro, ma non per tutto il soggiorno...ogni volta che la si apriva...un altro euro per utilizzarla! Comunque consiglio il marlasca.

9.3

Staff were excellent and room was big and clean. Right in the center of Madrid, easy to get to from airport (metro) and then walk around town.

8.8

ottimo hotel per qualità prezzo,posizione( praticamente in centro). La nostra camera era con letti separati, un pò piccola,ma confortevole e pulita, come anche il bagno. Alla reception e all'ingresso delle camere c'era un gradevolissimo profumo floreale.

4.6

de entrada no se encontraba el hotel, se trataba de un 2 piso de un edificio, luego fue correcto, aunque la zona si bien esta muy cerca de todo no es la mas segura...

9.6

Hostal Marlasca is located in absolute downtown of Madrid. The interior is very cozy and the rooms are clean. We were very satisfied with our stay at the hostal, however, I do not recommend it to guests arriving by car. The hostal has no parking and the carparks around are VERY expensive. Madrid is beautiful!

10

Limpio,nuevo,barato,bien ubicado...Exelente !!!

7.5

The Hostel is in a perfect location, next to Sol, so right in the centre within walking distance from Plaza Mayor and other central attractions. The air conditioning was very useful as we had quite a warm weather in Madrid. The TV set was really small and old, only with Spanish channels, but enough for us. We would recommend it for people who don't expect a high luxury for this money and for the location. We'd stay there again without any doubt.

4.0

Lo sconsiglio vivamente anche se è nel cuore della città!! Abbiamo trovato una bottiglia sotto al letto e per due notti che siamo rimasti non hanno nemmeno rifatto la stanza!!! Da evitare.

8.9

We stayed in the hotel for two nights in june. 2 adult and 2 children, 4 and 14 years old. The hostel was perfect for us - in the middle of Madrid to a really fair price. We were a litle bit worried that te sorrounidings would be very noisy, but we didn't find that to be a problem.

6.2

Posizione centralissima (a metà strada tra puerta del sol e plaza santa ana) nel pieno centro della movida. Stanze abbastanza ampie con arredamento a metà tra il molto vecchio (letto, divano) e il nuovissimo (armadio, bagno). La pensione è al secondo piano ma ha anche stanze al quarto (dove prima c'era l'hostal los angeles di cui sono ancora visibili le insegne all'esterno). Alcune stanze al quarto piano al momento sono in completa ristrutturazione per cui c'è un rumore infernale fin dalle prime ore del mattino.

8.5

this hotstal is very good because he is in the center of Madrid (just 200m on the Metro Sol). It ' in the "tapas'street". Hostal with clim is very important in Madrid! It's not for people with little children, because the rooms are in the 4. floor and Rooms are badly isolated, we hear what takes place in corridors. But 48 eur. for a night in center of madrid...very good relationship between price and quality

9.8

great area of town, right by the puerta del sol...the street itself has lots of restaurants and are quite busy at night. we were on the second floor and i had no trouble with noise at all. they have a big dog hanging out in the lobby but it's very calm and sweet. the room was a good temperature and the bathroom was quite big. this isn't a luxury room but a very good quality for the price and very clean. we would stay here again! madrid is a wonderful place to visit! julie and matt

4.5

The room was centrally located but faced the street and was loud! The character of the room had potential but the furniture looked like it was picked up odds and ends. We couldn't get a spare towel as the cleaning service holds onto them. Toilet ran all night. If I were out of college and backpacking thru Europe I wouldn't these things. However, I stayed in rooms about the same rate with a much better experience. It was OK but I would not recommend unless on a budget and you don't mind noise. Oh yes, the lobby area and the workers were so loud - very rude for the guests.

8.2

One of the employees - the one in charge of the night shift - NEVER paid any attention to our questions or requests. Fortunatelly he was an exception, since the rest of the team is amazing. Marlasca is a good place to stay.

7.0

me gusto mucho

5.3

The biggest problem is that, at first, we were given a room which is actually in the lobby. On the other side, the street, we is terrible at night, full of drunk people shouting. Therefore, the first night we didn't sleep at all. We ask for to change room for the second night and they gave us another one, upstairs (the stair seems to be falling at any time). The room was smaller, but at least we could not hear the noise of the lobby, we were not so lucky regarding the noise from the street. At all, rooms are ok, but don't plan on sleeping.

9.1

Perfect relationship between price and quality for budget trips! Great location if you want to enjoy "tapas". The Hostal Marlasca exceeded our expectation. Our room was not in the front of street, so it was very quiet. We really enjoyed our stay at Marlasca.

9.9

We had a wonderful stay. It was near everything and I will stay there again and recommend it to my friends

7.7

it's in the center of madrid.it's near puerta del sol,plaza mayor,gran via..i have been with my husband and my two children.you can visite madrid by foot. the hostal doesn't give you shampo and phon.

8.5

Le stanze sono molto carine e' accoglienti,il personale e' molto gentile ed e' situato al centro in un bel quartiere.

7.3

group of 8 friends travelling. pictures in venere do not correspond to the ones we ve had which were very small and with essential furniture. anyhow we ve had a great time thks to the central position of the hotel

8.2

Great place. Right in the heart of it near Sol. Easy to walk everywhere. Museo del vino restaurant on the corner has an excellent menu del casa! and for on the run museo de jambon great lunch place. Never been to madrid but would come back to marlasca! (the framed jigsaw 'masterpieces' from the prado on the walls were a nice touch) Noise not as bad as i would have expected given the other comments in this guestbook

2.9

È un hotel centralissimo, vicino alla Puerta del Sol ed il prezzo è accessibile......semprechè non siate persone che cercano la pulizia o un minimo di cortesia. Io e mia moglie siamo arrivati in hotel alle 10.00 di sera, con una bimba di 7 mesi e quindi avevamo bisogno di acqua bollente per il latte in polvere, il signore ch'era alla ricezione è stato molto disponibile, in una mezz'ora ci ha procurato l'acqua calda, fin qui tutto bene, tranne che il giorno dopo chiediamo ancora acqua calda per il termos, ma la signora ch'è in portineria c'informa che non è un servizio che offre l'hotel e che dobbiamo andarcela a cercare da un'altra parte. Stiamo parlando di acqua bollente, non mi sembra un servizio eccezionale, no? Le lenzuola delle camere vengono cambiate ogni due o tre giorni, e vabbè, diciamo che uno si può anche adattare, ma l'apice lo tocchiamo l'ultimo giorno. Non avendo una sveglia e dovendo prendere un aereo al mattino presto chiediamo se ci possono chiamare alle 5.30, cosa normalissima in qualsiasi hotel: evidentemente non al Marlasca. Quello che mi fa arrabbiare è che preferivo che mi dicevano ch'era un altro servizio che non avevano ed invece mi sono svegliato per caso alle 6.15, e abbiamo dovuto fare una corsa per raggiungere l'aereoporto. Ma non è finita, perchè al Marlasca hanno un bel cagnone di taglia che vaga per i corridoi e che ci troviamo nella hall prima di andare via? Nientemeno (e questa è una cosa che non mi è mai successa da nessuna parte) che una bella collezione di escrementi di cane. Potete andare in questo hotel, almeno consapevoli di quello che potreste incontrare. Buon viaggio.

9.3

Marlasca is a great hostal !!!!!!

7.4

Rapporto prezzo/qualità/ubicazione perfetto. Appena si entra nel palazzo c'è odore di fritto ma nelle camere fortunatamente non arriva. sicuramente consigliato

7.0

rapporto prezzo/qualità/ubicazione perfetto. Le camere non sono grandissime ma sono pulite. appena si entra nel palazzo c'è odore di fritto ma poi nelle camere non arriva.

Beautiful room, excellent service, and helpful staff. The room was extremely clean and spacious. The washroom was surprisingly spacious as well and well maintained. Location is in central Madrid with the subway station very close to the location of the Hostal.

9.6

Nice new rooms, quiet and not far away from the beach.

9.0

This is the third time i stay at his little hotel, because it´s location is excellent. My only sugestion is about the stairs to the second floor is in wood and the construction does not appear to be solid. I think that could be improved since there is enough space.

9.3

great location friendly staff clean rooms

9.8

We had a wonderfull time in this nice hotel. Staff was very friendly en the hotel is located in the centre near all the tourist atractions. In the same street is a coffeebar called La Suize with the best coffe and excellent food for a good price. We enyoued our stay very much en will stay here again next time we visit.

8.9

Very nice hotel although the rooms are small and noisy. If I return to Madrid I would choose the same hotel because the location is perfect.

9.1

I stayed at Marlasca for the last way of November so I am not sure if they have A/C. The location is very central if you like that. Management is very friendly as it is a family business. My only problem was that I did prefer not to use the blankets as they don't seem to be washed between guests... but the sheets are quite clean and since the heater kept the room warm I did not need them. The room floor could use better sweeping, but let's remember this is a budget hotel... I recommend it.

8.4

We found the rooms to be noisy at night when the reception phone rang or guests would come and go. We could easily hear their conversations because the walls seemed to be very thin. However, we still had a pleasant stay. The hotel was very close to a "Museum of Ham" bar, which we loved because of their cheap and yummy food!

9.4

This was a fantastic hostel, with really nice staff. It was right in the heart of sol, with a lovely bar opposite. The only problem was it took us ages to find the street it was on as the map was awful. If you look for Calle Victoria (or something similar, just of the puerto del sol, the calle cruz comes off that.

6.2

I found the staff friendly but I thought it was a shame that although I paid only a few Euros less I was in a very small single room compared to the double rooms. As I was at the front of the hostal it was really noisy all night but I couldn't blame the hostal for that, the area is just really busy with all the bars and construction work nearby. It is convenient to get to the museums etc from the hostal.

8.7

Our stay there was wonderful. It is very well located. The staff is friendly and helpful. it was a little loud, but that is the price you pay to be in the heart of everything. We walked everywhere saving lots of money on tranportation. Next time I would not allow myself to be placed in room 105. it is in the lobby, therefore very loud. Not suitable for light sleepers like me, but my husband had no problem sleeping. Great place! I would definitely stay again.

9.2

Las habitaciones son espaciosas y limpias, se nota que han sido renovadas hace poco tiempo. El hostal está muy cerca de la Puerta del Sol y de la Plaza Mayor, lo que provoca que haya movimiento todo el día. La ubicación es ideal para quienes disfrutan de la vida nocturna tradicional de Madrid, pues en la zona hay muchos bares, pubs y cafés. Sin embargo, en las noches de fin de semana el ruido alcanza niveles bastante molestos, especialmente si uno pretende descansar. Otro inconveniente es que no hay servicio de desayuno, lo que implica que se tiene que salir del hostal temprano para poder tomar algo en los cafes cercanos, solo se cuenta con una máquiena dispensadora de bebidas. Creo que a pesar de todo, por la localización, la comodidad de las habitaciones y el precio que tiene, volveria a hospedarme ahí.

9.5

My boyfriend and I enjoyed very much our stay in Marlasca hotel. The location is perfect to move walking all over the town and the Marlasca's employees were very kind and helpful

7.6

Great location: even if noisy at night still worth considering for a weekend trip: good value for money

10

The hostal is in a very central and "touristy" location, and it is only a minute's walk from Sol. Out of all of the hotels on my lastest trip, this was the best deal for the price. The room was very spacious, clean, and quiet, and the staff was friendly.

9.0

Out there on a hen do so noise wasn't ever a problem!! Perfect location, near to everything. Had 3 rooms, 2x3bed and 1x4bed. 2 were crowded, 1 fantastic with little balcony. Decor a little tired but beds clean and made every day. Air con worked perfectly and bathrooms big and brand new with towels etc. Safe available for 50cents in room. Staff very helpful and spoke good english. Recommended.

9.8

Absolutely one of the best hostals,I've ever tried in Madrid,and located in the heart-but not too noisy-of the city. Much better than many other-and more expensive-hostals... Staff very friendly and helpsome..

10

a few friends and i came to spain for spring break and stayed at marlasca a few days...we had an awesome time there! the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating to us and wasn't quick to cast us as some unruly group of american kids. they even helped us with getting laundry done at one point! the location is perfect, a few steps away from del sol, the rooms are large, clean, recently refurbished. I would DEFINITELY stay here again...possibly THE best hotel i'd ever stayed at anywhere in europe.

9.6

HOTEL TRES CENTRAL ET PERSONNEL TRES ACCUEILLANT ET SYMPATHIQUE ON PEUT Y ALLER LES YEUX FERMéS

8.4

Quite and clean hostal in the absolute centre of Madrid. Reasonable prices. Ideal place for a short-term vacation, weekend or similar.

9.2

only one night here ... but an excellent location ... right in the middle of madrid ... a beautiful little room with a nice balcony ... quiet ... and very helpful staff.

9.0

Central, convenient location. Friendly, competent, helpful staff. Room was next to reception, so there was some noise. Generally quiet except for the early hours of Sunday morning, when carousing Madrid citizens were making their way home.

8.8

Pedimos una habitación interior, gracias a lo cual pudimos descansar sin ruidos. Los alrededores ofrecen todo lo que se puede esperar, compras, restauración de todas las nacionalidades, locales, cultura etc. Un establecimiento ideal para disfrutar del centro de Madrid a pie.

6.5

The only problem with this hostal was the noise of the reception and the guests. We asked for rooms on the interior, so the street noise wouldn't bother us. But it turned out the noise from the reception (telephone calls, people entering, doorbell all night long) was worse than street noise. I had a very hard time sleeping at all, and I'm an easy sleeper (and easy traveller). If you stay at Marlasca, ask for a room on the 3rd floor since the reception is on the second! The location and cleanliness are very good, the room was small but cosy, and the staff was friendly.

7.8

The staff treated us like we were stupid.

9.1

We found the hotel to be good value and was situated in an excellent position for tourists. The only draw back was noise from the traffic early in the morning but that was to be expected in such a central location.

7.8

Very well situated. Extremely clean, friendly and helpful staff. Would not hesitate to use again or recommend to friends. Excellent value for money.

7.5

The Hotel Marlasca is in a great location with an internet cafe two doors, down not to mention its'cross street, Calle Victoria is filled with fun bars, restaurants and clubs for travelers of all ages. The only real downside was the noise level.

8.1

I LIKE THIS HOTEL AND ITIS JUST IN THE CENTER OF MADRID THE ROOMS IS CLEAN AND THE STAFF IS HELPFULL AND ALL THE ATTRACTIONS YOU NEED TO SEE IN MADRID ID JUST A FEW MINUTS WALKING AROUND THE BATHROOM IS CLEAN AND HAVE HOT WATER BUT NO BREAKFAST.

8.6

it is the perfect location for a let`s party in madrid trip just do not expect to sleep it is really very loud because of the party people, we enjoyed the stay very much!!!

6.9

When I checked out very early in the morning, the front desk looked very unpleasant. The location or the room itself were very good for the price.

8.1

Though the room was small, it was clean and well serviced and its extremely convenient central location makes the Marlasca very good valkue for money.

8.9

Just a few adjectives: cosy, clean and cheap. To round off: a good service.

7.9

Good value for money. Very good location.

7.9

Everything was as promised. Persons in reseption were pleasant and service even in english was good. Location is excellent. Rooms were not as tidy as we have used in Finland, but all reasonable. If I ever come back to Madrid I know where to stay.

8.4

The Hostal itself is very good and located right in the center of the city. The only problem is that the street is indeed very loud even at night.

8.5

It was avery nice stay, Will go there again.

8.8

I recomend the hotel

9.4

Very friendly staff, very quiet room. You can't beat the central location, just a few minutes from the subway. I recommend it highly and would choose it again any time.

4.8

We got a room without a window to the outside. This was not so bad, but because of that, noise level in the hotel was, especially at night, far too high and unacceptable. The service was not good enough, because we asked for another room and we didn't get it. Although every day people left and it should have been possible to give us another room.

8.4

Hotel Marlasca was a delightful and charming place to be in; we were so glad with the room we were in, I will recomend it to any of my friends

8.8

Marlasca is very centrally located, close to all major site-seeing. I enjoyed my stay.

8.6

The only problem I found in this hotel is that there are lots of bars and restaurants near there and there is too much noise. If you want to have fun that is the best place because is near everything but if you want to rest you better close the window! By the way, the hotel is just beautiful!

9.4

The Marlasca is a very nice budget pension type hotel in the heart of Madrid. There was plenty of room, including in the bath, which are sometimes cramped in places like this. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room could have used a coat of paint but that's not really a complaint. Just aesthetics. The room was really very clean. Bottom line, I'd stay there again or recommend it to friends.

7.8

This Hostal is in the centre of the city. The price is also excellent. Because of the location, You don't need to use public transportation. The rooms to the "Patio" are very quite.
